A humble attempt to create some pieces using my new found addictive hobby of quilling. I began with making cards and now have begun dabbling with all types of art and crafts, I hope to make good use of the art/craft knowledge I am gaining from all those wonderful blogs I follow...

A plain Man card

Really, manly/boyish cards are not my forte.. that is what I found out after I tried to make one... Boo hoo.. it was simply too plain! I began by doing something related to sports and coffee but I simply stopped at that... This is how it turned out. Please note I do not own any fancy stamps or inks or anything of that sort... just some paper pads, quilling paper. yeah... yet to invest in some arty stuff... I wanted to try out a swinging card so I made it and just incorporated the quilled embellishments such as a rugby ball, a basket ball and a coffee mug with piping hot coffee. Although I dont own a paper guillotine, I cut the swinging card with my craft knife and ruler, it did not come out so well but a good try I thought. Here are the pictures...

This is so cool. I love the quilled details you have given. As for the man/boy card, *same pinch* because even I fall short of ideas when it comes to making a man card. And even you have never used that real artsy stuff like distress inks , dies, etcisn't it?.Glad to know that I'm not alone :P I really have to get my hands on that stuff.But the show stealer is the 'swinging' that you have made. I'm waiting for it's tutorial from you hridya :)

Thank you soooo much Jasleen for dropping by... yes, maybe I must stick to doing other types of cards than manly ones hehe.... me too waiting to start off using the inks and what not!!! Tutorial and me.. no not yet... I found this one in youtube ;)
